Examination showed that this product was decomposed.
On January 29, 1942, the United States attorney for the District of Massa- 
chusetts filed a libel against 240 rabbits in various wooden containers at Boston, 
Mass., alleging that the article had been shipped in interstate commerce on or 
about November 14, 1940, by Hallren Poultry & Creamery Co. from Enid, Okla.; 
and charging that it was adulterated in that it consisted in whole or in part of 
a decomposed substance.
On March 2, 194.2, no claimant having appeared, judgment of condemnation 
was entered and the product was ordered destroyed.
